I have a very strange problem, which only appears on Safari on the Mac. Not
on FF/Mac, Safari/PC, IE/PC
When you try to view/download any PDF linked here, after typing the security
number, it starts to download the PDF then goes back to the failure page.
Please try it here:
Select any article/author to go to the abstract level, then click:

You should then get a page saying:

Has anyone any ideas why this PDF does not download??

Well, it did for me. Safari 3.1.2, OS X 10.5.4.
I entered the Captcha data, clicked the button and duly received a
downloaded PDF. I’ve set my Safari to not try to open PDFs in the
browser window, because it annoys the heck out of me, in case that
makes any difference.

Thanks Heather,
I have my Safari to open in-place.
For the life of my I can’t remember where to change that preference, would
you mind reminding me!

It’s the only thing I insist on with my systems. TinkerTool simply
gives a GUI front end to lots of “hidden” features in the OS and Apple
applications. Because TT doesn’t actually hack anything, I deem it to
be a safe way of setting things the way I want. I also have the
Leopard Dock sans shelf effect at the bottom of my screen, and hidden
applications go transparent.

I’ve used TT to do various of this stuff before, but not noticed it for
Safari.
Interesting though, I’ve changed in TT and quit TT and Safari. But the
behaviour has not changed, as TT says it does after a Safari restart!
